Howdy. It looks like a good number of folks have moved over to this list from the previous list, which is being restricted to Halsey Hall SABR members. This...
Dear Everyone, This is partly in response to Kyle's suggestion, partly just my own thoughts. I agree with Kyle (& I think I've expressed something like it...
Just for clarification, I was not commenting on whether the 87 Twins were deserving or not. I was saying that the team was better designed for the postseason...
Dear All, This is partly in response to Alan, also partly just my own curiosity and musings. It certainly sounds reasonable to think that pitching depth,...

I don't think contemplating what the Cardinals might have done if Isrginhausen had been healthy has any relation to my claim that the 2006 Cardinals were a...
... To me, 162 is better simply because of the Law of Large Numbers - the more trials, the more the emperical will approach the theoretical. Of course, in any...
Both were flukes, though, if by that you mean a team that definitely was not the best (or 2nd or 3'rd) in its league over the season. I'm not too much...
Thanks for the reply Stew. The Law of Large Numbers is often raised on this subject. But usually it's comparing 162 games to 7 games. What I'm saying (and I...

Stew, for this response I tried to delete the messages prior to Alden's most recent message, but was unable to. The Cardinals may have been unlucky in...
Re: [baseballmn] Post Season ... Alden's most recent message, but was unable to. Thanks for trying. I'm not sure what's going on. Also, for some reason, some...
Time for my annual request for input regarding the Twins Hall of Fame ballot. The ones we're so far considering to be added to the ballot are Cordova, Molitor,...
... Here's my test: suppose one is added to the ballot, and in the fullness of time he is eventually elected and added to the Twins' HOF. When given the glad...

I'm sure I'm not getting the most deserving candidate, but I'll throw out a name - how about Shane Mack? He was really only with the Twins for five years, and...

Someone mentioned a minimum 3 years playing time with the Twins. If that is the case, how much consideration has Lyman Bostock ever had? He put up some very...
Where would I find the members of the Twins Hall of Fame. I checked the website but couldn't find it. Maybe I am missing it. Thanks, Steve Smith Burnsville...

Good suggestions (Jimmie Hall). For players, the three-year waiting period will start after the end of their careers, not just their careers with the Twins....

I really haven't done much with this before but in checking the Twins Hall of Fame there are 12 players and 6 non-players. All of the stars are already in...
While never a star or ever even a regular, Randy Bush spent 12 seasons on the Twins, which (I haven't checked this) must rank near the top 5 in terms of...
Given the recent debate over Terry Ryan's legacy as GM, I put together an analysis of his transactions. I just uploaded it to the files section of this...
